Hi forum.

 

Im trying to export anisotropic materials. Seems all fine until I load them into Blender and I cannot see the anisotropic texture on my object.

 

Thank you.

Hi Dave, again nothing is happening. 

 

Im adding a new  PBR with the textures i need. I do add anisotropy, not sure which channel to use since i dont know and Im going in circles, and I cannot find on YT or google how its done. Can you please just show me with a screen shot what needs to be done so I can avoid this ordeal?

 

Again 7 selected, and only 6 get exported.

 

 

 

Thank you.

 

 

 

 


Hi

Set up a preset using the steps below, all outputs are greyscale except BaseColor and Normal:

 

 

 

When you come to export, use the newly set up preset

Hi

There are a couple of stages here.

I can see you have added anistotropy channels and an emmisive channel to your material.

What I cannot see is have you added those same channels to your export template so that they will be exported along with the Base Color, Metal, Roughness, Height and Normal channels? Once you have done that the texture maps should export.

 

In Blender you will need to add those additional texture maps manually to the node set up, as Node Wrangler does not automatically plug in the Emmisive, or Ansitropy channels

Hi there Dave, thank you for coming to help my inquiry. 

 

Is this the export panel you're referring to? If so, I have included the emission, indicated with the red border.

So therefor would it be a matter of node set up in Blender? I do have the node wrangler added, which automatically 

adds the textures to the object.

Please provide a logical explanation for why it functions this way. If it's possible to add them to the existing presets, they should export correctly. Such a poor user experience is frustrating. You spend hours on something only to realize that the problem isn't with you.

 

This dialogue should be entirely reformulated as it does not honor the bit depth of the presets, which is unacceptable.

With Emissive channel added, and cannot see it in blender.
